Egmont Key Exploration

Paradise is right in your own backyard and you may not have even know it existed. There is a place about 30 minutes south of Tampa where Florida's history, wildlife, and beaches converge on one location in grand fashion. Egmont Key, an island unknown to most locals, has a rich history and fascinating past. Aside from the ruins of previous buildings, roads, and forts, Egmont Key offers one of the best locations in Florida to experience one of the most incredible beaches. The waters are blue, the sands soft and sugary, and the crowds nearly non-existant. Access to the island is limited by a private vessel or ferry and access fee. Shanti and I were fortunate to make a day trip and capture some exciting photographs. Information on visiting Egmont Key can be found at the Florida State Parks website. Egmont Key Website
